CLI Cheatsheet

Chain ID: mocha-4 | Current Node Version: v2.1.2​

This cheatsheet collects commonly used CLI commands for node operators to easily copy and paste. A few conventions we follow:

  • Capitalized words indicate placeholders
  • Always use our own [NODERS]TEAM RPC endpoints
  • Always specify --chain-id and --node flags even when they are unnecessary
  • Query CLI command always uses --output json flag and pipes result through jq
